The Murphy’s
Gerry Murphy
Gerry Murphy has been the Head Coach of Murphy’s Boxing Gym since the late 1990s and has dedicated his life to the sport of boxing and the people within it. Over many years, he has helped amateur fighters reach the highest levels of the sport, including representing Australia at the Olympic Games, World Games, and Commonwealth Games. At a domestic level, Gerry has guided more than 30 boxers to Australian titles and over 50 to state championships.
In the professional ranks, Gerry has coached fighters to Australian, Australasian, Pacific, and Oceanic titles, supporting their progression through the world rankings. Alongside boxing, he has worked with elite athletes from other sports, including 10+ seasons at Hawthorn Football Club and the Essendon Football Club, helping them develop conditioning, and confidence through boxing.
Above all else, Gerry has built more than just successful fighters. He has created a genuine community, a club where people of all ages and backgrounds feel supported, challenged, and proud to belong. His passion for boxing is matched by his commitment to giving everyone who walks through the doors the opportunity to learn, grow, and find their place in the sport.
Justin Murphy
Justin Murphy grew up surrounded by boxing through his father and has built his life around the sport and the people within it. While boxing has always been part of his world, Justin’s passion lies in coaching, teaching, and developing others through the discipline of boxing. He is committed to continuing his father’s legacy while helping build the next generation of boxers and Australian champions at Murphy’s Boxing Gym.
With a background in education, Justin brings a thoughtful and individual approach to coaching. He understands that every athlete learns differently and believes strong foundations are essential for long term success. His focus is on teaching boxing properly, building confidence, discipline, and enjoyment of the sport from an early age, particularly through the gym’s kids and youth programs.
Justin combines traditional boxing values with modern coaching and learning principles, remaining a student of the sport while passing knowledge on to others. While his aim is to help develop Australian champions, he believes true success is built through consistency, respect, and commitment to the team. For Justin, boxing is a pathway to growth both inside and outside the ring.
